Abstract

A new theoretical model for nanomagnets represented by the Ashkin–Teller model on a core-shell hexagonal nanotube is proposed. The Mean Field Theory from the Bogoliubov inequality is applied to study the magnetizations, phase boundaries and tricritical points. For a positive couplings system (ferromagnetic), first order and continuous phase transitions between the stable, metastable and unstable states are observed. For a negative core-shell coupling system, only continuous phase transitions between the stable and unstable states are observed. The phase diagram is presented to illustrate the different phases and transitions exhibited by the model.
